| Link-> https://imgur.com/a/6uw2B Tell me what you think! Input is great so I can improve for what ever park I design next. Example of input I wouldn't want: "this park looks like it would suck ass and i hate it"  Thanks! |

| Both the marble or granite things are unusable because of the location, half pipe looks ridiculously over sized. Other then that I dont see anything too wrong with the park, without dimensions its impossible to tell how truly usable things are. However lots of personal turn offs with this park not a fan sorry. |

| Eh no worries everybody has their opinions  I post them here to get advice so thanks! The pipe is 12 inches tall btw in case you were wondering. Would you say it's an improvement on my first park? |

| Both have a lot of the same issues, one of the biggest is flow and usability. However without hitting the nail on the head on those 2 fronts it is impossible to make a perfect park. |

| I like the middle bit  The stuff around the edge looks awkward to use, and the pipe is way too big! 12 inches tall is 1 ft! Massive for a fingerboard park Looks nice though, just needs some re-arrangement and tweaking! |

| instead of that awkward little block of granite next to the half pipe, try putting like a wallride or smth. also wiht the extra spaces on the side maybe put like a pole jam or like i little fire hydrant to make it look realistic.
also halfpipe is wayy to big and the little triangle next to the stairset is stupid.

| Thanks Danny yeah I thought the pipe looked a little too big, I dono when I was looking at some brr parks that's what some of them seemed to be like. I agree the little park thingy on the edge is a bit weird.. Might replace that. |

Yep. Agree with all your points exept the triangle. I think it would be a cool transition onto a couple things. Polejams a cool idea as well as the fire hydrant. Maybe a bench or smth as well. Time to revise again |

| MUCH better. tweak the dimensions and layout a little and you'd have a fun park! |

| Try looking at some inspirational videoes of purpose built skateparks (the ones built for indoor events/contests), as they have some nice features to them. And if you then keep it mellow and minimalistic it will hit a few sweetspots i guess. Also..remember to allow for more landingspace/flatlands. As previosly stated by others, this looks kinda like the old BR parks. Try to forget the idea of putting big/tall ostacles all over the place and filling the gaps with every this and that.. These images is of a park in that kategory im on about, so you get the picture. It was built in both fullscale for skateboarding and miniature scale with a few tweaks for fingerboarding.   Hope this gives you some pointers. Again, do check out loads of videoes from skateboarding events/contests with purpose built parks. Their great and can be converted into fingerboardparks with great success.. |

if you had a loose, oldschool style then yeah the triangle would be cool but put it further away from the stairs so its not TOO close |

| It's way better than the park before! But it's a little not realistic looking how high the half pipes and quarters are.

| The half pipe height have been shrunk from 12 to 9 inches tall. It's way better now. Thanks man! |
